"Consistently"???  Lesse.  I know of 3 incidents, plus maybe 2 I didn't
hear about.  There were 200+ competitors.  200 * 12 runs is 2400.  of
those _5_ had problems.  That's 0.2%. I don't give a rat's behind about
our difference of opinions on whether the course shoulda been changed or
not, but let's please stop throwing words like "consistently" and "unsafe"
around without any justification.

You know, I followed up Mr. Sipe's post with my thoughts on this hoping
that it would raise awareness of a 'new' issue with course designers to
help make ProSolo a bit better.  Now I just wish I'd not posted anything
so that all the dumbasses that _haven't ever seen the site or the courses
in question_ could've beat off in private.
